DESCRIPTION:CLIMATE STRIKE: "Forest" of People with Protest Signs of Climate Crisis 
 News Headlines\n\nWhen: Tuesday, Sept. 24 noon - 1:30 PM\n\nWhere:  busy 
 blocks of Pacific Garden Mall in Santa Cruz\n\nCitizens Climate Lobby Santa 
 Cruz and Santa Cruz for Bernie are joining forces to create two actions 
 during the week of the Global Climate Strike, Sept 20 - 27.  The two 
 actions will take place on Tuesday, Sept. 24 noon-1:30 and on Thursday, 
 Sept. 26 from 5 - 6:30 pm .  Both will occur on busy blocks of Pacific 
 Garden Mall.  We’d love everybody from any group and no group to join 
 us!\n\nA 'FOREST' of SIGNS:\n\nParticipants will be creating a forest of 
 climate crises and climate adaptations/solutions headlines.  Each of us 
 will hold a sign with an actual climate crisis headline on one side, and an 
 actual headline describing efforts to intervene or mitigate or adapt to the 
 crisis we’re now experiencing on the other side.  You will choose both 
 headlines that you would like on your sign.  Each sign will be unique, not 
 repeating the same headline from the same publication as another 
 participant.  You will be provided a link to an organizing document to see 
 which headlines have already been claimed and to claim your headlines as 
 well.\n\nSo what makes it a forest?  Our formation.  We will deploy 
 ourselves on both sides of a busy block of Pacific Ave on Tuesday and on 
 Cooper St. on Thursday.  We will space ourselves like trees in a forest so 
 people going about their business will have to weave their way among us, 
 like walking through a forest.  Some of us will be clustered and some will 
 be spaced out randomly, like a forest.  In our pocket each of us will have 
 a cell phone whose alarm is set to go off at some point during the 1.5 
 hours that we will be rooted on the sidewalk.  As our alarms multiply, so 
 will the effect of walking through the headlines forest.  If you are unable 
 to stand for 1.5 hours, it would be great to bring a little stool or chair 
 to root yourself to. Some trees are young and just springing up.\n\nNEED 
 HANDBILL VOLUNTEERS:\n\nWe also need at least 6 people for each day who 
 won’t carry a sign but will be handing out quarter sheets to the people 
 weaving their way among us.  You will be interacting with people if they so 
 wish, but the rest of us will just be trees, not looking to talk to anyone 
 (you know how trees are).  The quarter sheets will advertise local groups 
 like ours and others that people can get involved with.  If you’d like to 
 be one of those people, let me know in the notes part of the document (the 
 last field).\n\nIf you are interested in being in this action, please 
 follow the link and sign up on the interactive document.  Be sure to fill 
 out all the 
 fields.\n\nhttps://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FBVDv5KosMrg63I-1cCjNeoaK9AMga5MjmHvAgqgvHg/edit#gid=52961842\n\nThe 
 organizing document will lead you through the steps of choosing your 
 headlines, choosing whether you’d like me to print your sign or do your 
 own printing, and determining the size and make-up of the signs, clothing, 
 etc.  If you can only do one of the two actions, that’s fine.  Just let 
 me know that on the organizing document. The more of us trees on the 
 sidewalk, the more we will be able to impress the public with the plethora 
 of news coming out now about climate disruption, something nobody should be 
 able to ignore any longer.\n\nIf you haven’t already, I strongly suggest 
 signing up for Magi Amma’s Climate News Roundup at 
 http://hotair.magiamma.com/ This is a rich and skillfully curated 
 collection of climate news that is a resource for all of us.\n
